Thanks for the help Jim!

I performed your test and here are the results;

The oil pressure only dropped slightly with the clutch depressed and it was not instantaneous. Kinda like a slow drop about 2 seconds after depressing the clutch, following the RPM’s of the motor. One thing though, the motor was not up to full temp. Does this matter?

I had my daughter depress the clutch all the way in, at least I hope her leg was long enough! I watched the lower pulley. It did not seem to move at all. The engine vibrated but I could not see any front to back movement of the crank. I just hope Chelsea had the pedal all the way to the floor. I will recheck tonight if necessary.

I also depressed the clutch until I heard it disengage, about 3/4 to the floor. The motor did not loose RPM’s and I could shift into any gear. Would the crank only move forward at the very bottom of the clutch stroke? I did not have time to road test the car. I will tonight if needed. Jim, any ideas from the results of the test?

Again, thank you!
